Brother HL-L3230CDW: reset a colour toner counter

Use the physical Back and Cancel buttons, then plus to confirm the changed colour.

2 min read

This is the button-panel procedure for HL-L3230CDW and the other listed LCD models. The HL-L3270CDW touchscreen uses a different confirmation step.

Reset after fitting the new toner

Keep the printer on and open the top toner-access cover after installing the new cartridge.
Hold Back and Cancel together for one to two seconds. Release both, then immediately press Back again.
Use plus/minus to highlight the replaced colour and its installed capacity, such as M.TNR-HC for high-yield magenta. Press OK.
At Reset/Exit, press plus. After Accepted appears, close the top cover.
